The only injury I've seen from airbags is a burn or abrasion. One fellow
had the reverse image of his car logo impressed into his arm from the airbag
cover. I'll take that level of injury any day.

SWMBO and I saw a different type of airbag injury when we stopped to help
another motorist who had just hit a deer. He'd been holding the steering wheel
by the spokes instead of by the rim. When the airbag deployed, it threw his
right hand back into his face, giving him a fat lip and a cut on the back of
his hand (from his teeth). He had no other injuries, despite squarely hitting
a good-sized doe at about 70 mph. Neither the deer nor the car survived.

The real irony here is that we were on our way out to the forest to go deer
hunting -- and that was the only deer we saw all day. :-(
